In the Grimm Empire, countless new aristocratic families have sprung up from all directions, and the rise of these new forces means that the territory of the empire is constantly expanding.Countless new planes were discovered by the legendary powerhouses as they explored the star field, and they broke through the outermost barrier of the plane and entered the lower planes for a short stay, leaving their magic beacons on that plane.Upon returning to Grimm, the Legends used the magic beacons left on the planes to create portals to those plane regions.The nobles bought the development rights of these planes from the hands of the legendary powerhouses, and the Hiero plane is a rich plane in a state of development, where all kinds of resources are very rich, and the local natives are still quite backward, and the adventurers who enter this plane are almost like picking up money everywhere.If it weren't for the dark forces in the Abyss Prison that opened up the connecting channel, the Duke of Samoyed would still be very nourishing in this plane.It has vast and fertile land, vast Black Forest, star-dense mineral deposits, indigenous people in the Stone Age, and powerful creatures such as the Wurms on top of the cliffs.Only after the expansion of the territory of the noble lords did they have the qualifications to be canonized by the Emperor of the Grimm Empire.The map that Brandon took was spread on the table like a tablecloth, and the geographical layout map drawn on it showed the mountains, rivers, jungles and cities very clearly.At a glance, I saw an oval outline circled by black lines in the area of the dust swamp on the map, and in that oval area, the parchment was actually blank, and two eye-catching large characters of the forbidden area were marked with a red brush, which looked so dazzling on the parchment map, and the side hall became extremely quiet for a while."
Ahem, it looks like there are some security issues with this land!"
The Duke of Samoyed looked at the striking red handwriting on the map and said in a thick black voice.Old Magician Eugene glanced at me and asked me again, "Are you sure you want to buy that place?"
What appealed to you there?
”I said, "My team had previously found an open-pit iron mine near the area south of Trum, and I wanted to get the right to mine it, maybe I could dig up the magic iron ore there." ”I looked at the vague area on the map and said, "If I can, I'd like to build a town near the mine." ”I know that this sentence must be on the heart of the Duke of Samoyed, after the fall of Trum, the Duke of Samoyed should be very hopeful that someone can build satellite towns around Tanton City, which can greatly share the firepower of Tanton City in the event of a leased attack.Sure enough, hearing me say this, the Duke of Samoyed's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "It's a good idea to own a small town, maybe in the near future, your exploits in the Hiero plane will make you promoted to earl." ”The Duke of Samoyed continued: "It is necessary to prepare a town for yourself as early as possible, but you must be careful in choosing the location of the town.In fact, there is no place in that area that has a more defensive advantage than the Trump stronghold. ”The Duke of Samoyed continued.I picked up the soft leather pocket next to the corner of the table and placed it on the square table, which was full of black crystals.I patted my pocket and smiled at the Duke of Samoyed before saying, "Actually, I am ready to be promoted to Earl this time." ”After that, I reached out to untie the fine hemp rope at the mouth of the bag, revealing a bag full of black magic crystals, countless black magic crystals shining in the pockets on the wooden table in the side hall, these black magic crystals are very uniform in size, each black magic crystal is almost the size of a pigeon's egg, this bag is just three hundred black magic crystals.Seeing so many black magic crystals coming out of me at once, even the seven second-turn knights behind the Duke of Samoyed couldn't help but let out some surprised sounds.One of them couldn't help but whisper: "With so many black magic crystals, it's incredible that a killing team can kill so many spider-man warriors in such a short time, how is it possible?"
”The shield warrior Alden stood in the crowd and said to his companions: "It seems that maybe Disraeli is right, they were all wiped out of the Spider-Man warriors from the Trump stronghold, and they were killed by force. ”The Duke of Samoyed looked calm, and said to a clerk in the logistics department standing aside, "Take a closer look at these black crystals, I need to know how many spider-man warriors the Giga mage has captured in Trum." ”"It's not an easy task to be promoted to earl, and I still remember clearly that when I took you to the desert west of the Terramaye Mountains on the western border, sweeping away those sand thieves in the desert, it took us three years, and we brought back a total of 20,000 sand thieves' left ears before I was successfully promoted to earl, and now in retrospect, those things seem to have happened yesterday."
The Duke of Samoyed thought of the past, and the eyes of the second-turn knights behind him flashed with remembrance."
Of course, those desert sand pirates are hardly comparable to the spider-man warriors, and at that time we fifteen constructed knights with five hundred light cavalry were rampaging in the desert.""
And now, those spider-man warriors continue to cause us trouble in the Black Forest, it is these spider-man warriors who are hiding in the forest that are holding back our attack, if it weren't for the fact that only the Constructed Knights can fight against the Spider-Man Warriors, I would have burned down the spider nests in the southern jungle with these Constructed Knights."
The Duke of Samoyed slammed his fist on the table and said unwillingly."
Lord Duke, there are a total of three hundred black magic crystals with only imprints!"
The clerk counted the number of black magic crystals in his pocket and said respectfully on the side."
Only three hundred?
If you want to be promoted to the earl, if you only have these black magic crystals, it is far from enough!
”The wrinkles on the Duke of Samoyed's forehead stretched slightly, and he said to me kindly: "Not to mention the amount of merit required to be promoted from a viscount to an earl, three hundred black magic crystals are just enough for you to be promoted from a third-class baron to a third-class viscount, and if you want to be promoted from a viscount to an earl, it will take a huge amount of merit." ”"But even so," said the old magician Eugene, whose eyes fell on the black crystals, "that's pretty good." ”The Duke of Samoyed sat down, his arms flat on the square table, his ten fingers crossed over his chest, and said to me with a very serious expression: "Your Majesty Charles, when you awaken your magic and become a magician, officially crowned you as a third-class baron of the Grimm Empire, and rewarded you with a piece of barren land, but that land has little other purpose than to show your baronial status. ”As he spoke, he took a quill and drew a stroke in the area north of the edge of the Dust Swamp and said, "But the merits you have obtained from me are very different, these three hundred black magic crystals will make you rise to three in a row. level, from a third-class baron directly to a third-class viscount, and as my reward, you can also get a piece of territory, the Hierro plane is not like those resource-poor planes, here is full of gold. ”He pointed to this small area and said to me, "This is much more reliable than the swamp you chose, you can slowly develop this territory, build a town, open a mine, open a forest farm, set up a supply station, whatever you want!"
Then form your own team. ”"After graduating from the Royal Academy of Magic, if you want to get the fastest way to get merit, then quickly form a mercenary group, and then join the plane war, it is estimated that that day will come soon, and when the time comes, you are welcome to join the expedition of the Hiero plane's crusade army, and I will provide you with the greatest help."
As he spoke, Samoyed, in order to show that he would give me full support, gave me another dose of strong medicine, and said: "If you want to buy Trump later, if it has not become the domain of other nobles by then, then it will definitely be yours!"
”I have been killing spider people in the area around Trum a few days ago, of course I know what Trum means, it is facing the vast southeast region of the Black Forest, I didn't expect the Duke of Samoyed to actually break down the defense line he built with his own hands, and want to give up this important defensive stronghold.I hurriedly asked the Duke of Samoyed: "Is it true that the Trump stronghold is also going to be sold?"
”"Of course it's true, and no one has ever dared to question what the Duke said!"
Just as Samoyed frowned slightly, the old magician Eugene hurriedly interrupted my question.Then, he explained to me: "Tanton City is the territory left by the Duke to the Marquis of Amande, and the Trum area is the direction of the future development of Little Horace, but since the Duke has driven him back to Green, I am afraid that Little Horace will not have the opportunity to set foot in Hierro in the future, so here in Trum, a new master will be needed!"
”At this time, it occurred to me that what Felix said in the warehouse of the Trum stronghold was not groundless, as if he had already guessed that the Duke would be disappointed in Count Horace, and instead wanted to cede the Trum region to a general who was more suitable for expanding the territory.I had no idea that Samoyed would be so disheartened by Count Horace.Qige, who was behind me, secretly pushed me with his hand a little impatiently, and then I remembered the purpose of this trip, and then took out a first-class baron's noble medal from his magic waist bag, put it on his right chest, turned his head to the clerk who was measuring the area of the dust swamp with a ruler, and asked, "So, may I ask Your Excellency, according to the provisions of the Green Empire's noble promotion bill, how many dark magic crystals should be needed to be promoted from a first-class baron to an earl?"
”The clerk seemed to be very familiar with this process, and without even raising his head, he blurted out, "Twelve hundred pieces, honorable magician!"
”I was slightly relieved to hear the answer given by the clerk.In the eyes of many people, it is definitely a very rare thing for students of the Academy of Magic to wear the noble medal of a baron of the first class, although it is not difficult to do so, it is nothing more than a matter of earning meritorious service on the battlefield, but for a weak magician, before he has no self-protection ability, unless he is forced to do so, he will rarely run to the battlefield recklessly.Therefore, many magicians will choose to appear on the battlefield after graduation, and few people like me have been promoted to a first-class baron before graduation.In the astonished gaze of everyone, I touched my nose and said helplessly: "In fact, I have lived since I was a child in a part of the city of El in the northern province of Sloyth, where every winter is infested by the barbarians of the ice and snow tundra, so it is not difficult for our people there to gain a little merit. ”While explaining, I took out three leather bags of the same size as before from my magic waist bag, put them on the table, and when I opened those pockets one by one, black magic crystals of the same color were revealed from the pockets, and the entire side hall was quiet again.Almost no one can imagine what kind of force can wipe out an army of more than a thousand spider people.Seeing Samoyed's puzzled gaze, I spread my hands and said, "I know you're going to have a hard time believing it, but anyway, just like that, all four Spider-Man Overseers were killed by fire and phosphorus bombs, and the city of Trum was destroyed in the explosion, but at least we won, didn't we?"
”I told about the hunting process in the field of Trum, the battle of Trum, and the destruction of those spider-man warriors.Of course, I won't tell you that at the beginning of the explosion of the fire and phosphorus bombs, the orc warriors and I were already hiding in the Willow Valley, I just said that we hid in the basement until all the spider warriors were destroyed, and we didn't come out of the basement of the tavern.The Duke of Samoyed rubbed his somewhat numb face with his hands, waved his hand slightly, and said to the clerk who was standing aside, struggling to measure the area of the waters of the Dust Swamp, "Let Brandon go to Neku to get a count of nobility and a blank coronation book." ”When the clerk had gone out, he said to me, "Well, from now on you will officially become an earl, and as for your domain, it will be in Trum!"
”"Also, you owe me a city of Tum, Count Giga!
I want you to compensate me for my losses with a box of fire and phosphorus bombs with the same power as the explosion of the Trump stronghold, which is a city built at great expense.In addition, I need you to re-establish the Trum stronghold on the same site at least three years, or I will take back your land in the Trum region.Count Giga!
”His last words were deliberately accentuated until I walked out of the council hall, and my head was still a little dizzy.The Duke of Samoyed exchanged the entire Trum region with me for thirteen boxes of magic scrolls and a cart of magical herbs that could be formulated into healing potions.Thirteen sealed magic chests, each box contains ninety-five scrolls of different kinds, the total number of these scrolls is one thousand two hundred and thirty-five, including eight hundred and forty-five cheap frost scrolls, about one hundred and seventy magic crystals, frost nova, ice spear technique, ice wall magic scrolls, a total of three hundred and ninety, about three hundred and ninety magic crystals.In the end, I didn't let go, and sent out the particularly powerful fire phosphorus bombs that Qige gave me, and insisted that all the fire phosphorus bombs purchased back were used up, and when the Duke of Samoyed asked about the origin of those fire phosphorus bombs, I said that it was the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute, and the old magician Eugene looked a little awe-inspiring.In order to buy the whole of Trum, I must not spend all the black magic crystals that have been exchanged for meritorious deeds, and I will also provide twenty bundles of hemostatic grass for the Duke of Samoyed.Originally, these hemostatic herbs were continuously supplied to the Grimm Empire from the Orc tribe Pai Plateau, and the price was very low, resulting in no one planting hemostatic herbs in the Grimm Empire, until the recent outbreak of war, which directly led to the consumption of a large number of healing potions on the front line, and there was an extreme shortage of hemostatic herbs in the Grimm Empire.At the same time, I took out another 1,200 black magic crystals, which can be regarded as buying back the Trump stronghold and the surrounding area.I had the coronation book in my hand, with the seal of the Duke of Samoyed on it very clearly, and the moment I stepped out of the council hall, I looked at the bustling crowd in the street, and Kig and I looked at each other, and the palms of our hands gently struck together.
